They did not mention the German equivelent of a warrant.

Cant he police do this at will? (as in, no one checking to see if the officer is doing it to his ex-wife?) Or do they require a Judge's permission (aka search warrant)

Anyone know the answer?

Without a warrant, this seems like an obviously bad idea. Cops should care more about guilt then they should care about protecting the innocent. But judges should be the other way around.

1) Obtain massive amount of money that you do not own - whether by grant, loan, or in this case payment for a movie.

2) Look at 'gambling/investment' realize you could theoretically double your money, and come up with a 'brilliant' idea.

3) If it works, keep the secret profit and use the money for what you claimed you were going to do it. If not, get caught and go to jail.

4) Repeat until you get caught and go to jail.

The executive Branch executes the laws the Legislative Branch votes into power. The president has no power to make laws except as granted by Congress.

Congress has granted the executive branch a bunch of power, AI is new and Congress has not granted the President much powers over it.

Whether the current Supreme Court will obey the intention of the Constitution or Congress is another issue.

:Roll Eyes: Would they kick their own babies out once they hit ten million?

They do not have to think about that because, their birthrate, like most Europeans is below replacement rate. 1.29 children per woman. To keep their population stable, they need immigrants and should accept them.

What this really comes down to, like all immigration debates, is racism. They don't like the color of the skin or the religion of the immigrants.

I get the fact that there was huge malfunction in the system that was supposed to limit each donor to less than 10 people.

I get the fact that there were inadequate/mistakes screenings.

But the real question is what description led it to be chosen over 200 times by the customers?

Hypothesis: Tall, handsome, doctor.
Null hypothesis: Kind, loving, honorable

Anyone willing to bet on the null?

You do not get to choose the product and the product could easily be from a grocery store 100 miles away.

There is no good reason why grocery delivery in the super expensive cities - New York, Zurich, etc. should be expensive. It should be cheaper. Grocery stores on the outskirts of the city could easily set things up so that they deliver food at a steep discount to the high priced grocery stories in them becuase they could pay literally half the rent.

But Demand is so high for food and the inhabitant are so used to paying high prices that they charge MORE for the food than the neighborhood grocers let alone for the delivery.

Two possibilities:

1) Calibri is helpful: In which case Rubio is a shmuck, making it harder to read by undoing the advantage it offered over Times new Roman.

2) Calibri is not helpful: In which case it was a waste of time and money to change to Calibri but that also means it is a waste of time and money to change back so Rubio is a shmuck.

His stated reason "Decorum and professionalism" was untested opinion. There is nothing unprofessional about the font Calibri. Changing it because your opponent liked it is unprofessional and childish.

If you want to cooperate with law enforcement you can always CHOOSE to do it yourself.

The problem is RING and a lot of others do not really give you the choice - they make you cooperate with them, taking control of it - even against you. You get into a fight with your neighbor on your doorstep, they will get the footage and use it against you. Your daughter comes home drunk and the cops use the footage in her DWI case.

It's not about doing things illegal, it's about YOUR rights. The cops love to ignore them. You should not be forced to pay for the cops to illegally spy on you.

If you buy the camera and set up everything, you get all the benefits with no downsides and you pay less money.

The difference between the stock market and almost every other 'asset' is something called "Positive Sum Game". Gambling is a "Negative Sum Game." Much of the rest are "Zero Sum Game"

Negative Sum Games are games where someone takes money out of the system. Like a casino offering a poker game.

Zero Sum Game is when no one takes money out or puts money in. If you have a office bet and ten people put $50 bucks in and the winner takes 10*50= $500, that is a zero sum game.

None of the following are Positive Sum games: Pokemon, Art, Bitcoin, Commodities, etc.

The stock market however is a Positive Sum Game. Profitable businesses increase the value of the stock. Some use these profits to pay Dividends, others to buy assets or even buy out other companies. So the Net Sum of money in the system keeps going up.

This is a huge difference - the exact opposite of going to a casino where the casino always wins. If there was a casino that instead of taking a profit every day kept putting more money into the poker game, you would definitely play with them rather than real casinos.

That is why the Stock market is an Investment rather than gambling. The businesses put more money in than they take out.

Positive Sum Games are better than the other kind.

That is, while the law allows the US military to agree to vendor required repair contractors, the generals can still say no.

In fact, they have guns, and could theoretically take them out and threaten to shoot the salesmen as traitors to the country when they mention requiring repairs to be done by the vendor.

I would be surprised if they were even court martialled for shooting those salesmen.

But age based rules have three issues:

1) They are easier to get around than a ban of bad content.

2) They require anyone above the age to prove their age, thereby destroying their privacy which does far MORE damage than the supposed bad content. When it comes to censorship the government is always the bad guy, not the hero. Just look at the US currently.

3) They allow the bad content to continue to exist and affect the people they claim are old enough to deal with it. But people are not uniform. What some learn by 16, others do not until 18. Some never learn it. Worst of all, they never offer classes to teach people how to recognize the issues and deal with it. That would be far more effective than a temporary ban.

We need a Modern Home Economics class. It should talk about dealing with the police, dealing with taxes, dealing with the internet, how to recognize fraud/scams, how to recognize when a company is offering you a horrible deal (especially how your email/phone etc. is valuable and not a 'free' thing you give the company), sexual consent, how to ask someone out, basic medical care (do not remove the knife), and of course basic scientific method / logic.

There is a reason why we put limits on cops - it's not to protect the guilty. It's to protect the innocent. Cops hate these limitations because it makes their job harder and they frankly do not give a crap that they are the ones breaking the law and hurting innocent people.

I personally would never give my DNA to Ancestry.com in part because they used to let cops examine it and even now because I do not trust them to maintain their current rules. I have however given my fingerprints when I worked in finance.

The problem is how many other things DNA can tell.

Did your mother cheat on your dad? Your grandmother? Do you have a gene that some asswipe is going to think makes you more likely to commit a crime? Or makes you likely to be gay? Or stupid/lazy/racist?

Keep in mind this not about what the gene actually does - it is what some asswipe is going to THINK the gene does. Look back at the the old fake 'science' that claimed skull size or shape determined things like that.

Mankind has a long history of judging people not on reality but on bad science.

They are buying up property IN CHINA, which is again just numerical garbage. They pretend their homes are worth $2 trillion instead of $1 trillon. Trade imbalance still exists.

To buy property out of China, that would be undoing the trade imbalance. But China hates when their citizens buy property out of China. They call it corruption.
